Just want to add to your informative reply..I am layering more then the OP for that temp. What must be considered is the level of cold one can stand. All of us have different comfort levels, therefore, the difference in the layering from one rider to another.

Also, the build of person makes a difference too. I am 6ft 3in tall, at 135 lbs. I have almost ZERO fat.. I am going to get cold faster than say somebody that 6ft 3in tall at 195 lbs!!

The layers that I use might not be good for you and the layers you use might not be good for me... It is about putting on enough to get to your comfort level.. Sheesh, I am so skinny, I can put on 5 layers, and nobody could tell the difference!!
